Excellent. I guess I can start deriving equations and methods for implementing those actions and try them out.
That's what I was also planning to do in the next week or two. Unfortunately, I will be really busy for the next few weeks due to the completion of my Diplom thesis. But I'm sure I won't be able to resist the temptation. :)
BTW, thanks for offering to help, Dave! Much appreciated. I must confess, however, that figuring out the maths and writing the fundamental classes is part of why this project fascinates me so much (apart from the GUI aspect), so I'd really like to work on that, too. But I reckon that there is enough to do for two people - just don't make me redundant, please. ;) Furthermore, exchanging and discussing ideas may be very helpful. The most important thing, though, is IMHO that the design should be carefully adapted to the way we want the tool to eventually work. I only made a few drafts in the last days, but I hit upon a couple of points where I considered it worthwile to write a class in a slightly different way than would be most suitable for, say, a general purpose library. I think this can often facilitate interaction with the GUI. I can say more about that as soon as I have the time to really think about the class design in detail.
A general question: Just in case I should really be accepted to work on this for SoC, to which extent is it 'legal' to work together with other people? May that be a problem with the regulations?
Cheers, Max
